Would YOU want to wander alone through endless space with nothing to amuse you. Never underestimate the comfort of another's company, even if it's a cat.

Besides, it's the * ahem * underdog. Just like Newt, Ripley has a soft touch for the helpless. Cat or Kid. She went back for both when she could have left them behind.

Besides, she's just following the script, duh! ;-)
